I tried to use the Naturepedic Waterproof Fitted Crib Pad with this mattress. It is not snug, has anyone had this same issue or which do you use?

I am using Carter's Keep Me Dry Fitted Quilted Crib Pad and it fits great -- everything fits snug, the pad and the bed sheet that goes over it.

I use the American Baby Company Organic PVC and vinyl free pad. Make sure to get your pad without any chemicals like that, or you might as well buy a $50 chemical-based mattress!

The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover. Technically, it is waterproof, but I wouldn't want to have to wipe it down and dry it off every time there's an accident. We use the waterproof naturepedic pads so you can quickly replace the sheet and pad. You wouldn't need two pads though - the waterproof pad alone is fine. Also, I had a couple of the portacrib waterproof pads (flat, not fitted) that I used when the full crib pad was being washed. I just put it in the center and never had a problem with either child wetting around the edges of the crib. It's possible of course but probably worth the gamble if you want to save some money and avoid buying extra pads.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

I have a Cal King that is a waterbed insert mattress and it is pillow-padded on both sides which makes the mattress pretty thick. I also have a 2 inch memory foam pad on top of the mattress... not exactly sure how this all of this is, but this mattress pad covers it all. The description says "Twin Size (39 in x 75 in); Fitted Sheet Style; Accommodates Mattresses 9 to 18 Inches Deep". I would give it a try if I were you. You can always send it back if it doesn't fit your mattress.

I'm not sure specific to Naturepedic but the standard crib mattress size (Sealy for example- 52x28x5.5 inches) fits just fine.

I use a waterproof cover on the top of this mattress then I put Fitted Pack N Play Sheet. Though the waterproof cover we use can't fit wholly but it is ok for our child and it helps to prevent splits/leaks. Hope that helps!

Zarett, what did you end up doing about the mattress? I went ahead and purchased this mattress and really don't feel safe about how it fits the bassinet. I'm thinking on ordering a custom made mattress from Naturepedic instead. Thanks!

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

I actually ordered the Lullaby Earth Super Lightweight Crib Mattress. It fits the crib really well, and my daughter sleeps so well on it. Although it was expensive, I feel like it was definitely worth the expense. Good luck!

Hi Dana, The crib I purchased this for was the DaVinci Kalani and this mattress fit very snug. The measurements on my crib are, 54.4x35x41.9 inches if this helps. Good luck.

I agree with Lauren0418. I wouldn't call it a "mattress"... it seems uncomfortable to me and our nebworn did not like it. Looked cold and uninviting. I wish i new about putting another pad (which is another purchase).. maybe that would have helped.

I would definitely recommend the mattress cover even though the mattress is waterproof. In fact, I would get 2 of them; one to wash and one to use. You don't want the mattress smelling like pee for one, and it definitely will if you don't. It will also just be a lot cleaner. I'm all about making less of a mess if I can to have less to clean since there is already so much other cleaning that cannot be avoided. And pee is the cleanest thing that can end up on the mattress! I like to use peroxide in a spray bottle with paper towels when I do clean a waterproof mattress. I like that it doesn't smell and does a good job cleaning. I think it's a safer cleaner compared to say a Clorox wipe. I would recommend the flat one, instead of the fitted, so it will be easier to change. Or if your mattress isn't too heavy, it's really no big deal just to take the entire mattress out to change it so in that case the fitted would be fine too. (But then you have to take the crib bumper off. I actually took mine off since I got tired of taking it off and on all of the time.) Hopefully you have a Naturepedic mattress or other brand that doesn't use fire retardant chemicals to pass the flammability test. I've even read on a natural health doctor's website that when the pee, or other bodily fluids, mix with the fire retardant chemicals, it has a chemical reaction that makes an odorless gas that can cause SIDS.

I have not put the crib together yet. I'm going to use a different changing pad too. Sorry :(

The link below is to a sheet that fits pretty well. It's not perfect because the sheet is for a rectangular bassinet but this bassinet pad is a little rounded. I think it works great. I use a waterproof pad between the bassinet pad and the sheet. My little guy goes a lot and we have had a lot of leaks trying to find a diaper that works. The bassinet pad is washable, which is nice.

I purchased the summer infant contour pad from Amazon. It works perfectly with this pad. It's also waterproof.

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.
